ELVIS ON TOUR/IN CONCERT jackets,all 4 jackets are original Elvis summer and Winter tour jackets, the Elvis on Tour Jackets were Prototypes and my not have been used very long, thats why you dont see them in any history books on Elvis,i got these from a good source that theses are Original Tour Jackets,,,,
The Summer Jackets were only made by APOLLO BY HOLLOWAY,and winter jackets by BUTWIN jackets only,later summer jackets were produced after elvis passed away in 1977 were made by a subsiderary company of HOLLOWAY JACKETS,only says HOLLOWAY,,,,(see the APOLLO BY HOLLOWAY TAG),,,,I think HOLLOWAY JACKETS DID THE 1977 ELVIS IN CONCERT JACKETS for The ELVIS 1977 Summer Tour that NEVER HAPPENED,i think i have 2 of the jackets in my collection,(still researching theses jackets)the only difference is the style of the embroidery of the patches,made by HOLLOWAY only,,,
I have a Holloway jacket identical to the one you have and I'm trying to find out a value to sell mine at. Do you have any hints?
ReplyDeleteThanks,
Raven Dies
Value for these jackets go from 200 to 2000. If u want to be nice sell me it for 50 I know u won't however these jackets should go not to collectors. Should got to people who will enjoy
Deletedoes it say HOLLOWAY or APOLLO By HOLLOWAY,,,theres a slight difference in the patches, the embroidery is better , the 1977 tour that never happened had the jackets by holloway with a newer ELVIS IN CONCERT PATCH,do you have a photo of your jacket,,,you could send me a photo if you like,,,,david
ReplyDeletehi I have a Holloway red elvis in concert with the tcb logo on it but mine has elvis in white letters on the back is it fake
DeleteCan I have it
DeleteI have a jacket identical to the one shown but the label inside says Hammacher Schlemmer does that mean its a fake or reproduction?
ReplyDeletethat would be a reproduction from around 1990 era,,,, they sold in catalogs for around $350 bucks and they sell on ebay for around $125 USD,,,,hope this helpd,,,
ReplyDeleteI have 3 ELVIS ON TOUR jackets. I am curious as to what era they are. I am positive they are repros because none of them have the "holloway" label.
ReplyDeleteI have a red and also a black nylon jacket with the "humes" label (spelled like his high school)
My other one is black, nylon and has an MTA Sports Pro label inside of it.
Thanks for your help!
all your jackets are FAN jackets from the past 10 years ,,,, the older ones AFTER elvis passed away were made by Howe jackets of Memphis 1978 era and just "Holloway" alone,, with a mass produced Patches,,,, The Real Summer Jackets Had Zippers and not buttons, and made by "APOLLO BY HOLLOWAY"
ReplyDeleteHow can I buy one the summer jackets??

Greetings from Australia...I purchased a Hammacher Schlemmer red/black jacket from EBay recently ($100 US)....may not be an original but I'm over the moon now that I have it, couldn't be happier! Regards, Bob
ReplyDeletehello Australia,,, your jacket was mail order from 1989-90 era,,,,they sell for about what you paid,,,the sold new for $350
ReplyDeleteHi Davek, as you know they appear to be almost non existant now so very happy that I could even get this one, even if its not an original. Rare to get this on the bottom of the world. My one belonged to some music exec.
ReplyDeleteya, red elvis jackets are getting harder to find that are from even 1977-78 era,,, after elvis left the building,,,,
ReplyDeleteI have a Howe athletic apparel M mephis Tennessee. Made in U.S.A. Red button ,Elvis in concert / tcb on left arm , I’ve had 25+ yrs given to me by older friend , what is the real story on these jackets ?
DeleteHi Dave- do you have any of the real ones Apollo by Holloway in large or extra large for sale? and if not where can I get one and how much are they selling for? Thank you. Please check out my web site. www.ElvisEvents.com. Zach TCB Lieberman
ReplyDeleteHi Davek,
ReplyDeleteApart from the red/black varsity jackets and the red satin ones, whats your opinion on those other ones such as black, white. Were the originals made in those colors?
the black one and the white ones ,,,,I stay away from buying them, they have the same inferior patches that the fakes have,,, you can see the difference if you put the real patches and newer fake patches togeather side by side,,,, they look different,,,
ReplyDeleteI've seen some jackets (red Summer types) that don't actually have collars, just round necks......any thoughts?
ReplyDeleteJust a follow up to my previous, theres this guy on EBay selling cheap nylon red/white jackets without the TCB logo and best part is they are made in Vietnam. He wants about $160 U.S for something thats worth around $20....if that. He claims they are genuine 1970's.....people be warned.
ReplyDeletethank you for the heads up on bogus elvis in concert jackets,,,,davek,,,mine are the real deal,,,,,if you have any questions,,,let me know,ill try to answer them,,,,dk
ReplyDeleteDavek,
ReplyDeleteI have a jacket that has red buttons and the label says Howe Athletic Apparel Memphis Tennesse. The patch says Elvis in Concert with the TCB on the left sleeve. Can you give me more information on it.
Thank You
your jacket is a fan or tribute jacket,, they sold them at the elvis always convention in 1978,,,originals have zippers,, and your jacket has inferior patches
ReplyDeleteDavek,
ReplyDeleteMy father has a black jacket with the patch on the right breast and the TCB on the right sleeve in gold, his jacket is also a Howe jacket. It was given to him from a Roadie during an event. and info on the black jacket? I believe his has buttons and not a zipper. Thanks!
the black jackets were 1978 copies
ReplyDeleteRead your comments re: inferior patches and totally agree. The jackets with the "Elvis Presley" label inside the collar are worst of the worst, very fuzzy! I think they were sold at Graceland, not sure though. If so then they have no excuse for such shitty patches. Theres a few re-productions going on EBay which are excellent quality although the sizes differ from the original. Regards.
ReplyDeletethe EP label was sold at graceland, they didn't want to make the exact copy of original jackets so people would sell the copies as real tour jackets thus getting big monies for it,,,
ReplyDeleteAs I guessed. Dunno how many they sold as the patch is total crap. Bet they wanted big $$$$ also. I did a search and seems they don't sell them anymore.
ReplyDeletehi,I have a Elvis red holloway jacket,can you tell me if it is original or copy...?it is only holloway
ReplyDeleteIf Holloway and has a zipper then looking good.
ReplyDeleteyes it has zipper,,,thank,s from Barcelona.
Deleteyour jacket is from late 1977,,,the real ones are Apollo by holloway,,,,they changed logos by not adding Apollo by,,,,these jackets sell for about $150 bucks usd,,,
ReplyDeleteEbay has a red/black leather "Elvis Presley" label Winter jacket for sale. It looks OK until you study the ELVIS IN CONCERT logo on the chest which is very fuzzy and poor quality. Not worth the asking price.
ReplyDeletehi I have a red elvis in concert just like yours its made by Holloway but on the back of jacket I has elvis in white cursiff letters its not a patch its smooth can you tell me if its real or fake thank you
ReplyDeleteand it zippes up no butons
DeleteI have an original band member worn what are they worth?

ReplyDeleteHi Davek,
DeleteI have a red nylon Elvis in concert jacket, though this one is made by Zip it London and has a tcb patch on the left sleeve.Looks to be 1970's.Do you know anything about this jacket?
Thanks for your help.
Not to worry Dave K.I found it at a flea market in Australia paid $30 for it.Not a big gamble to add to my music memorabilia collection.
DeleteI have a blue Holloway nylon jacket with all the badges, popper fastening can you tell me anything about it? Also if I were to sell it how much should I ask.
ReplyDeleteHolloway? Very unusual as I thought they only made them in red. Try putting on Ebay and see what response you'll get.
Deletethe blue, black jackets as well as the white jackets were after elvis passed away,,, theres some red jackets also that were made after 1977-1978 era
DeleteThe one time Doctor to Elvis is trying to get over $4,000 for his red tour jacket. Its on EBay......
ReplyDeletesaw it,,, he emailed me before putting it on ebay and asked me if the jacket he has was real,,,i told him yes it was,,,,then he put up the red summer jacket,,,Apollo by Holloway is the tag,,,and the patches match up to known real jackets,,,
ReplyDeleteElvis gave it to him but he asked if it was real???? I wonder if Ginger Aldren got her $10,000 plus for her winter red wool/leather one?
ReplyDeleteHello Davek...I have an Elvis Jacket that was presented by Elvis to a member of his back up group J. D. Sumner and Stamps for one of his last tours. Is this jacket worth much?
ReplyDeleteWhat would a band member jacket be worth?
ReplyDeleteWhat would a band member jacket be worth?
ReplyDeletethe summer jackets are worth at auction,$1000.00 to $3500.00. the winter jackets $2500.00 to $5000.00 depending on whos it was and if theres a story behind it,
ReplyDeleteHi, any update on the holloway label jackets? Did you find out if these were used for the fall tour that never happened? I hear conflicting reports about this. Surely most of these were made to accomodate fans, but I have seen a coa by Tom Hulett who states he had 60 made for the fall tour of 1977. That is the holloway jackets, not the apollo by Holloway.
ReplyDeletei have a 1977 tour jacket that i bought from Dick Clarks estate, they said it was from the last elvis tour that never happened, yes its a Holloway zipper jacket, the only difference was the slight design change in the 2 patches,,,so yes Holloway jackets were used,,,i have a winter and summer elvis jackets with a patch that says Elvis on tour and not Elvis in Concert,,,,prototypes, from tom Hulett
ReplyDeleteThanks for your reply. Still no proof: Dick Clark could have received it as a souvenir jacket. The Holloway jacket I am referring to with the Tom Hulett LOA was sold at the last Juliens Auction in LA for about 900 USD. I am not convinced if this was authentic. I did notice one number on the label was dfferent than the other labels I have seen from the Holloway jackets, but since then I have seen that additional number as well on some of these souvenir jackets. So I would at least assume these were made in 2 badges. apart from this addiotnal number the labels are the same. The Apollo by Holloway also come with 2 variation of the label. Altough very similar, I have seen 2 versions (you can see this if you google it). I would assume therefore these were made in 2 badges as well. I believe both are genuine. Regarding the Buttwin winterjackets: I know they are genuine, but I have yet to see a picture of someone wearing it before 8/16/1977. There is one picture/video of Vernon Presley being interviewed on a couch for the Elvis in Concert special in June 1977. Behind him is what appears to be a Winterjacket, but the quality is just too poor to judge for sure. I read that Elvis gave these Winterjackets first of all to his flighcrew (have 2 confirmed stories about that). Since there are not much pictures of his flightcrew this would make sense. On the other hand: Jerry Scheff had a winterjacket that he offered for sale at auction.
Deletethe dick clark jacket i got from gurnseys auction was framed in a frame, why would dick clark do that with a standard fan elvis jacket,
ReplyDeletesend me a email, ill send pictures
ReplyDeletebtw, when you google Apollo by holloway, the photos are mine that your looking at,,,
ReplyDeleteI found the pictures of labels from Jackets that were owned by Ginger Alden, Larry Strickland, Dean Nichopolous and Joe Esposito. 2 have a slightly different Apollo by Holloway label.
ReplyDeleteYou are right to assume it would be strange to frame a jacket if it would not be a genuine one, but Dick Clark could have received it from someone who told him it was a genuine jacket.
i go it at Gurnseys Auctions in New York years ago,,,in 1977 Holloway jackets dropped the Apollo by Holloway tag,,,went with only Holloway
ReplyDeleteHi, does anyone know where I can buy one of the black sleeve jackets?
ReplyDeleteHi there,
ReplyDeleteWould you be able to look at the jacket that I own and tell me an approximate worth. It says Halloway and Zips Up (no buttons).
Hi Davek. What do you know about the '80s/90s Holloway red varsity/letterman wool jacket with "Elvis & Amdahl" and TCB with lightning bolt on the front left chest? Amdahl could also be Amdahi, Arndahl, Arnhahi -- the photos and stitching are difficult to decipher. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteEbay
ReplyDeleteHi Court. I just bought a jacket identical to your description from Goodwill. Have you been able to get any information on where it came from yet?
DeleteHi there ,
ReplyDeleteI was wondering if you could give me a little help with my jacket. It says Halloway and zips up. I have been trting to research its worth and have not been toosuccessful. You seem like a wealth of knowledge with these jackets. Thank you, in advance, for your help. I can send a photo if you would like.
Katie, the ones with a zipper are more authentic than the ones with studs. Value would probably be in the eye of the beholder.
ReplyDeleteHopefully you can help me. I have a red jacket with zipper but the tag had been removed. Can you tell me if it's an Authentic?
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to figure out how to attach pics of it.
ReplyDeleteI see online what is stated as Charlie Hodges Red Elvis in Concert jacket. Asking $2400.00. But, this jacket, as shown, has snaps instead of a zipper. Would that be the real deal?
ReplyDeleteDave sent you a email awhile back with pics of my jacket and questions never heard anything back did you get it? Donnie. Chopperguy
ReplyDeleteHi Davek
ReplyDeleteI've just stumbled across you blogspot. I'm very interested to know if the jacket I own is genuine. It has a HOWE label. EP in concert badge front left breast. TCB badge to the left arm and a black zipper. With a red faux fur lining. Can you enlighten me anymore . I'm guessing as it doesn't say Apollo or Holloway it would be circa 1978 post Elvis passing. Thanks in advance.
Your APOLLO By HOLLOWAY Jacket that has "Joe Esposito's" name on the tag isn't legit!! Yes…it does say "APOLLO By HOLLOWAY" but Apollow did indeed sell a plain red jacket off the rack that was a zip up and had the tag such as yours. There were left over patches of "Elvis In Concert" and the "TCB" patch. A couple of smart people bought these off the rack Apollow jackets and sewed the patches onto those jackets. The Apollow By Holloway Elvis In Concert jackets that were used on the last Elvis tour in June of 1977 had a tag that was just a wee bit different. As well as a few other little things of which I won't mention here.
